Assessment of human body impedance for safety requirements against contact currents for frequencies up to 110 MHz.

This paper deals with contact currents that may occur when the human body is in contact with two electrodes at different electrical potentials, e.g., an electrical/electronic device and the floor.

Normal osseous variants presenting as cystic or lucent areas on radiography and CT imaging: a pictorial overview.

We present a number of commonly encountered pseudolesions. These represent areas of the skeleton that are relatively radiolucent simulating an osteolytic or cystic lesion. Such areas discussed in this article include the superolateral humeral head, rhomboid fossa of the clavicle, scapular defect, supratrochlear foramen, biceps tendon insertion, vascular channel of the ulna, distal condylar area of the knee, 'bone in bone' disturbance, dorsal defect of the patella, metadiaphyseal area, 'Wards' triangle', inframalleolar fossa of the fibula, and anterior lytic defect of the calcaneus.

Evaluation of lower back pain with bone scintigraphy and SPECT.

Bone scintigraphy and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may be performed for evaluation of lower back pain, especially when a bone abnormality is suspected. Various patterns of tracer activity based on precise identification of the anatomic location of increased uptake may be observed and used to evaluate bones and joints. Lesions centered about the disk space and vertebral body include spondylodiskitis, metastatic disease, vertebral body fracture, and degenerative disease (disk disease, spondylosis deformans).
